The least used app on my Android phone is… the Google app?!

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-06-28 08:00:28

Andy Walker / Android Authority I spent several hours rummaging through the Google app for a recent opinion piece detailing its excellent Saved feature. However, I don’t use this app often, if ever. This got me thinking: why is the Google app still around, and why does Google insist on keeping it when a search widget from Chrome could essentially replace everything I use it for? While I’m sure many users (including myself, initially) feel that it’s a vestigial piece of software from Android ve

Does Apple’s C1 chip mean mmWave 5G is dead?

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-06-28 07:48:50

Apple achieved a major milestone yesterday, when it launched an iPhone with its own in-house modem instead of a Qualcomm one: the C1 chip. This has been a key goal for the company for a great many years for two reasons, so finally ticking the box is a pretty big moment … The twin benefits of the C1 chip As we noted yesterday, ditching a Qualcomm modem for the C1 is a double-win for Apple. First, Qualcomm’s fee structure, which Apple has long considered unfair. When Apple bought modem chips f

Apple Intelligence is available for iPhone 15 Pro and later, but there’s an exclusive feature for iPhone 16 models, which is Visual Intelligence. Some believed this was because the iPhone 15 Pro lacks Camera Control, but that all changed with the iPhone 16e – which supports Visual Intelligence. Now Apple has confirmed that the feature will soon be available to iPhone 15 Pro owners too.

Now's the Time to Lock in an APY Up to 4.65%. Today's CD Rates, Feb. 20, 2025

cnet.com Kelly Ernst 2025-06-28 05:30:00

Key takeaways You can earn up to 4.65% APY with today's best CDs. APYs haven't shifted much in recent days, but they won't stay high forever. By opening a CD now, you can protect your earnings from expected Fed rate cuts. Sometimes, no news is good news. As banks wait to see how long the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates paused, certificate of deposit rates haven't budged much over the past week. That's good news for savers who have yet to take advantage of still-elevated annual percentage

Keep Your iPhone's Notes App Organized With This Hidden Trick

Apple released iOS 18.3 in January, and that update brought some bug fixes to all iPhones. But when Apple released iOS 18 in September, the company made it easy to keep your Notes app more organized with collapsible sections. There are other ways to keep Notes organized, like with tags, but those usually apply to the whole note and not the content with the note. With collapsible sections, you can keep the content within individual notes organized and tidy so you can easily find what you're look

Apple's iPhone 16E Brings Apple Intelligence Features With a Cheaper Price Tag

cnet.com Abrar Al-Heeti 2025-06-28 08:00:11

Until now, Apple Intelligence has been reserved for the cool kids – aka, the people with the latest, most powerful iPhones. Now, the $599 (£599, AU$999) iPhone 16E is here to shake that up. Apple's latest version of its budget phone line invariably cuts corners when it comes to design and camera specs, but it doesn't hold back with AI. Equipped with an A18 chip -- just like the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus -- the more affordable phone can power a suite of Apple Intelligence features including notifica

The iPhone is done with home buttons — here’s why I’ll miss it

theverge.com Jay Peters 2025-06-28 08:00:00

For the first time since the iPhone’s debut in 2007, Apple no longer sells a smartphone with a home button. The iPhone 16E announced yesterday removes it. The removal was long overdue, having been surpassed by all touchscreen controls many years ago. But while the home button’s time is over, it leaves behind an important legacy. The home button was crucial to the first iPhone, but it was also jarring; no other phone at that time had basically no buttons. It was both a gamble and a necessary inn

The iPhone 16e's lack of MagSafe doesn't make sense

The iPhone 16e, Apple's replacement for the iPhone SE, has plenty of features that make it a good deal, from its A18 chip to the fact that it actually comes with an OLED screen. But one glaring omission in its spec sheet makes no sense: Why doesn't this $599 phone have MagSafe? Despite looking a lot like an iPhone 14, and using components that are similar to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16e doesn't support MagSafe or fast wireless charging.
